Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First edition, second printing, a tight clean crisp unmarked copy of this novel.

Zustand: VERY GOOD. First printing. A novel inspired by a real crime and the ensuing trial that occurred in the 1931, in the West Virginia town of Quiet Dell, not far from where Phillips grew up. A crime that Phillips mother, herself haunted by memories of watching townspeople flocking to the scene, had told her about when she was a girl. A counterpoint to the sensational stories that filled the newspapers at the time is the role of Emily Thornhill, a woman determined to make it in the man's world of journalism (one of the few characters in the novel whom Phillips said were "wholly invented"), but also focused on justice for the murderer of Asta Eicher, a lonely young widow, and her three children, who were imprisoned and murdered by Harry Powers, a charming serial killer who seduced scores of women through lonely hearts columns all around the country with the promise of making them his wife. Phillips was awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for her novel 'Night Watch.' 441 pp. Very good in very good dust jacket. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reader's Edition of Uncorrected Proof in paperback. Signed by Jayne Anne Phillips on title page. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "From one of America's most accomplished and acclaimed fiction writers, a chilling, spectacularly riveting novel based on a real-life multiple murder by a con man who preys on widows--a story that has haunted Jayne Anne Phillips for more than four decades. In Chicago in 1931, Asta Either, mother of three, is lonely and despairing, pressed for money after the sudden death of her husband. She begins to receive seductive letters from a chivalrous, elegant man named Harry Powers, who promises to cherish and protect her, ultimately to marry her and to care for her and her children. Weeks later, the family are dead. Emily Thornhill, one of the few women journalists in the Chicago press, covers the case and becomes deeply invested in understanding what happened to this beautiful family, particularly to the youngest child, Annabel, an enchanting girl with a precocious imagination and sense of magic. Bold and intrepid, Emily allies herself with a banker who funds the investigation and who is wracked by guilt for not saving Asta. Driven by secrets of their own, the heroic characters in this magnificent tale will stop at nothing to ensure that Powers is convicted. A mesmerizing retelling of a harrowing crime, QUIET DELL is a tour de force of obsession and imagination." [publisher copy] "In a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction, Jayne Anne Phillips has written the novel of the year. It's the story of a serial killer's crimes and capture, yes, but it's also a compulsively readable story of how one brave woman faces up to acts of terrible violence in order to create something good and strong in the aftermath. QUIET DELL will be compared to In Cold Blood, but Phillips offers something Capote could not: a heroine who lights up the dark places and gives us hope in our humanity."--Stephen King. Pristine paperback ARC w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Signed by Author. …
